When lives depend on the resources of specialty care facilities and when rapid transfer is a priority, Flight For Life is ready to respond. Whether the need is for inter-hospital transport or a pre-hospital scene request, you can be assured that Flight For Life will provide the expertise necessary for optimal patient care. Flight For Life has operated as a non-profit organization since 1984.

Our ground teams consist of a critical care nurse, critical care paramedic and EMT driver. We are very excited to share this with our pre-hospital and hospital providers.
